Descrizione

The Corner Piceno Rosso DOC by Fontezoppa is a wine representative of the hilly Marche area, produced from a careful blend of native grape varieties such as Montepulciano and Sangiovese, distinctive elements of the Piceno denomination. Traditional vinification enhances the fresh and lively character of the wine, while aging in steel preserves its natural fragrance and harmony.

In the glass, it appears with an intense ruby red color, accompanied by aromas of ripe red fruits and light spicy notes that tell the unique terroir of this area. On the palate, a pleasant tannic structure emerges, balanced by a fresh acidity, making the sip agile and inviting. The Corner Piceno Rosso DOC pairs perfectly with typical dishes of Marche cuisine, such as grilled red meats and aged cheeses, enhancing their nuances without overpowering them.

Winery history

According to company sources and informational materials, Fontezoppa was established in the late 1990s to showcase the vineyards of the hills between sea and mountains. Ownership and management are tied to the Luzi family; the business has developed by combining native varieties and international cultivars, with an approach that also encompasses wine tourism experiences.

Production philosophy

The estate places its relationship with the land at the center: site-specific viticultural practices, winemaking that seeks to express the characteristics of each grape variety, and an approach focused on quality, hospitality and sustainable practices, with projects to convert to organic farming reported in the sources.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located between Civitanova Alta and the area of Serrapetrona, in the Marche hinterland between the Adriatic coast and the Monti Azzurri. The soils are described as having a calcarenitic/sandy-calcareous matrix; altitudes and microclimate vary between the coastal hills and the mountain slopes where Vernaccia Nera is traditionally grown.
